Intrauterine Insemination

IUI is a fertility treatment which can be used where infertility is unexplained or where there is a mild to moderate sperm problem. By stimulating the ovaries to produce eggs and by placing the best quality sperm closer to the tubes, the chance of pregnancy is increased. However, it can only be undertaken where the sperm is suitable and the woman has at least one, preferably two open fallopian tubes.

Although this procedure increases the chance of getting pregnant, it also increases the chance of a multiple pregnancy - twins or triplets.
